About Lawana

Dr. Lawana Mabry brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy that emphasizes meeting each person where they are and working toward clear, individualized goals.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience across Louisiana, she combines a focus on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career concerns, and coping with life changes to tailor care to a client's immediate needs and longer-term priorities.

Her background includes roles in child protection, grief work, medical and school social work, inpatient psychiatric settings, and outpatient clinical leadership. This range of experience informs her work with complex presentations such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care challenges, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and co-morbid conditions.

She has provided trauma-focused therapy for children exposed to sexual abuse, domestic violence, and other severe traumatic events. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MS LCSW C10589, LA LCSW 10286), she emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies alongside compassionate support.

Prospective clients who want focused, goal-oriented help with emotional regulation, life transitions, or professional and family stresses may find her direct, experienced style a good match.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Remote Care

Dr. Mabry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. One approach emphasizes structured, skill-focused work to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation; this style helps clients identify patterns, learn coping strategies, and practice new responses to stress. Another approach centers on trauma-informed interventions that address the effects of abuse, loss, or exposure to violence by helping clients process difficult memories and develop safety and stabilization skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy with Dr. Mabry is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change, while still allowing for regular, focused work on symptoms, relationships, and life transitions.
